These 41 seconds are humanly impossible:
-each question has his own 200 ms of fade animations delay
-human response is about 250 ms
-having 200-300 words per minute as human limits for comprehension, just by reading the questions wastes the half second remaining, maybe you can answer couple of memorized questions in about 2-3 seconds, but I think human times start from about 2-4 minutes.
They just use a plugin for firefox that delays 1 second per question. The plugin isn't working anymore but this is the database: http: slash slash hlam dot com.ua/expertrating/question.php?id=19243
Similar to the XP ranking, there are massive scores there, Freelancer probably just don't care to keep the environment clean, they just want the fees as fast is possible.
